Pre-qualification schemes

The House of Commons Business and Enterprise ‘Construction matters’ Report recommended that the Government reduce the burden that multiple public sector pre-qualification schemes impose on construction firms. To meet this challenge the SEC Group was invited to participate together with the British Standards Institution, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and other industry bodies in the development of PAS91. SEC Group is a founder member of the Safety Scheme in Procurement Forum (SSIP) which promotes mutual recognition of health and safety competence schemes.
